Temple and Boston College last played in November 2004, with the Eagles winning 34-17. As a freshman QB for Boston College, Matt Ryan saw limited action in the game but went on to become the starter due to multiple injuries. Ryan is now the QB for the Atlanta Falcons.

Roche had 8 tackles (2.0 for a loss), 2.0 sacks and 2 forced fumbles, one of which was recovered and returned for a Temple touchdown.

Redshirt sophomore Anthony Russo started at quarterback for the second straight week for the Owls, and he threw for 112 yards and ran for a score. Russo was stepping in for Frank Nutile, who has been working his way back from an injury.
Steve Addazio will be the first former head coach Temple has faced off against since Henry J. Miller in 1936. Miller coached at Temple from 1925-32 and then went to coach at St. Joesph’s University. Temple won both games easily 51-0 and 18-0.

Sportsbook and Online Casino Rollover Requirements:

All bonuses come with a "rollover requirement." A "rollover requirement" is an amount you must bet (graded, settled wagers only) before requesting a payout. You do not need to win or lose that amount. You simply need to put that amount into action.

For example, this bonus has a 10x rollover. When you deposit $100, we will give you a bonus of $100. The rollover is 10x the deposit + bonus. Therefore:

$100 + $100 = $200

$200 x 10 = $2,000

That means you will need to put $2,000 in action before cashing out. The bets are cumulative. So the more you play, the sooner you will meet your rollover and be ready to cash out your winnings!

For Sportsbook Bonuses, only wagers placed in the sportsbook qualify towards the rollover requirements. For Casino bonuses, only wagers placed in the casino qualify towards the rollover requirements.
